DESTABLE "NGE To all whom i may com-wn:

it lmfmntlui L Rsnrn l. lLinTsoUGn, u fitizen or the Unito Swiss, residing at Minneapolis, in the oounfry of Hennepin and Starte or' linnesom, lui ve inrenssd a new and useful Adjustable eoring of Wliioii ibo follovi'ing is s specification.

This' invention reles .to adjustable boarngsund is more particularly designed as a means for coupling thefconnsct-ingrods of hydrocarbon vengines and die like lo crank- '.inbonstrnction sind ille parts of which' can be readily assembled.

A still :Euribor object is to 'provids n 'herir-- ing which dispenses wih ilie usey of shinis and which preveni's uneven tiglitnning and consequent binding of ille parts.

A further objoct is io provide bean-inf; the paris of which cnn bo quickl'v' fidjustsd Without requiring the seri/ioss of Anmlmnic.

With the oi'going und other objers in View which. will apparu' fis Sie dosoripion proceeds, the, invention rssidvs in tho couibination and arrz'iugrnient of parts :unl in the details of construct-ion hereinu'im' def scribed and claimed, it being.;` understood thabcluingss in the preciso embm'iiuient ol? invention herein disclosed can be mudo within 'rhs scope of what. is claimed without de parting from the spirt'of tlio invcnon.

ln the accompanying d ziiviuggs the preferred form of the invon'ion luis been shown.

In said drsWingfs:-Fig'ure 'l is :an olemtonof a bearing constructed in accordance Wili the present. invontiong--he somo being shown :ii one end of a Connecting rod.

As'these eecentrics rotate Within the openings 13, they cause the arms 8 to shift longitudinally so as to move the cap -9 toward or away from the member 2,

What is claimed is l. A bearing includingI separatelyl movthe-bolt, means for simultaneously rotating the eccentrics about a 'common axis, and means for shifting the eccentrics toward each other to bind them upon 'one of the members and hold the eccentrics and the bolt against rotation.

A bearing includingmovably connected members oppositely disposed, one of said members straddling the, other member, a connecting bolt extending through the members, tapered eccentrics revoluble with the bo'lt and each of said eccentrics being circular `in cross section and revoluble lWithin 1 each other to bind them vupon seats Within one of the members. -f
